REVENUES
 
A CLEAR CASE OF SOFTWARE
PIRACY

 Microsoft Corporation, Washington, USA, is a

leading manufacturer of software .
 Microsoft gets all of its works registered in
USA.
 Microsoft is facing a problem of software
piracy.
 Products of Microsoft are sold by illegal
methods of copying and counterfeiting.
 Microsoft found one company,Deepak

Raval and Company.

o Used to sell pirated copies of the softwares of

Microsoft.
CONTINUED…..
 Microsoft filed a suit against the company in
High Court on account of piracy.
 Microsoft collected serious proofs against the
company for confirment of infringement.
 Microsoft sent a letter to Deepak Raval &
Company.
 Prayed for permanent injunction against the
company.
 The Court gave decision in favour of
Microsoft.
CONCLUSION
 As Microsoft is a very large player in market of
software and IT products, it has a major advantage of
having all the products registered. In India the
scenario seems to be quite different.
 This causes serious damage to our economy as all the
pirated softwares are traded undercover and no taxes
are paid to the government, so the government
earnings are reduced to a very large extent.
 This would not let any new foreign investments in
India and also the market here would remain
backward.
 The individual spending on the software purchasing
expense would be reduced and new technological
developments can also get hindered.
